Not sure about Laser eye surgery, but as far as I know its still not been established what the long term affects will be for those who have had eye surgery at an early age.
I`m expecting to be told its a no. I was going for WSOp but i`m hoping that it will be ok for maybe an officers role on the ground.
yer you'll be fine for ground crew no probs! WSOp is the most relaxed of the aircrew branches as i wear glasses and im fine for the role...however like other people have said you need at least 20/20 Unaided before training...WSOp is more flexible as i dont have 20/20 unaided and i got to OASC!
ok thank you stig, much appreciated :)
